Whoo hoo! I got a call from someone looking for a freelance proofreader/copyeditor for a book-length project, and it looks like it will work out for me to do it! Something about Civil War stories. I don't actually know much about the Civil War, but I won't have to. It's kind of cool the way academic editing works--you consider yourself an advocate for the reader, and it's more about making sure things are logical and comprehensible than checking out the author's work. So, fingers crossed! I just have to look at a couple of chapters to make sure it's not completely beyond me, and she's going to make sure everything's kosher with getting me paid--I guess it's grant money, which probably shouldn't make any difference.
